The Dark Side of the Universe after Planck
Abstract
Recently released Planck data implies a smaller Hubble constant than that from Hubble Space Telescope project (HST) and a larger percentage of the matter components compared to Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) in CDM model. In this paper we found that even though the tension on between Planck and HST can be relaxed if the dark radiation is introduced ( at CL from the datasets of Planck+WMAP Polarization (WP)+baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO)+the combination of supernova Union2.1 compilation of 580 SNe (Union2.1)+HST), from Planck is still not nicely compatible with that from SNLS. The tensions between Planck and other astrophysical datasets can be significantly relaxed in CDM model, and the combination of these datasets prefers a phantom-like dark energy at more than CL: and at CL from Planck+WP+BAO+Union2.1+HST and Planck+WP+BAO+SNLS+HST respectively. From the statistical point of view, there is no evidence for a time-evolving equation of state ( compared to a constant equation of state for the combination of Planck+WP+BAO+SNLS+HST).
